Game Day Prediction & Fan Confidence Survey
Captures fans' pre-game predictions — winner, score, MVP, and the factors they think will decide the outcome — plus how confident and excited they are. Built for sports media brands, leagues, and fan engagement apps, with an AI follow-up that digs into the reasoning behind each fan's boldest or most contrarian pick.
Sample questions

Rank the factors you think will matter most in deciding today's outcome, from most to least important.
- Offense
- Defense
- Coaching decisions
- Injuries/player availability
- Home field advantage
- In-game momentum/luck
Split 100 points across these factors based on how much weight you'd give each one in predicting the winner.
- Offense
- Defense
- Coaching
- Injuries
- Home field advantage
Is there an upset or surprise result you think could happen today?
- Yes, I have a specific upset in mind
- Maybe, something feels off about the favorite
- No, I expect a fairly predictable game
- Not sure
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's prediction, anchoring on their predicted score and any upset or surprise pick they flagged. Ask what specific evidence (recent performance, injuries, matchup history, gut feel) is driving that call, and if they hedged ('too close to call' or low confidence), push them to name what would tip it one way or the other. If they predicted an upset, get concrete details on what exactly would need to happen for it to occur.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond a single winner/score pick with a ranking and a 100-point constant-sum split so fans weigh the actual factors they think will decide the game.
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that adaptively probes the reasoning behind each fan's boldest or most contrarian prediction, rather than stopping at multiple-choice answers.
- Captures both prediction confidence and pre-game excitement as separate opinion-scale measures, plus viewing habits and fandom depth for richer segmentation.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and auto-generated reports mean the open-ended reasoning captured by the AI follow-up is still analyzable at scale, not just raw text to read manually.
SurveyMonkey
Big Game Prediction SurveyThis is a ready-to-field template covering core game-day prediction questions like winner and score picks. It's built on SurveyMonkey's established survey infrastructure and benefits from their broad template library and distribution tools. However, it appears to be a static question set without any mechanism to explore the reasoning behind a fan's pick.
What it does well
- Ready-to-deploy template requiring no build time
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's mature survey distribution and analytics ecosystem
- Likely simple and quick for respondents to complete
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up to probe why a fan made a particular prediction — static question flow only
- No voice AI interview or guided task option for deeper engagement
- No published methodology or prompt transparency since there's no AI layer to document
